Song Description

When opportunity knocks, be sure to answer the door.

Lyrics

Keep the curtains drawn
at the top of the stairs.
Take a look around
and see if somebody cares.
Given the circumstance
it was beyond the pale.
Given half a chance,
I?ll soon be setting sail.

You always told me
there?d come a day,
I guess I?ll just be on my way.

When dealt a certain hand,
you give the devil his due.
Try to understand,
it?s something that I must do.

Dust off your evil eye,
you?ve got a perfect right.
I guess you?d be remiss
to not put up some kind of fight.
Every now and again
you have to take out the trash.
Though in God we trust,
as for you, I?ll take cash.

You always told me
there?d come a day,
I guess I?ll just be on my way.

When dealt a certain hand,
you give the devil his due.
Try to understand,
it?s something that I must do.

Through a darkened glass
we view the road ahead.
All anyone can ask
is the chance to make their own way.
I?m making my own way.
